Pacquiao: "We're thinking of suing Mayweather Sr for the steroid allegations"

[GTR]

this lawsuit aint stoppin Sr from yappin lol. Srs and old black ******, they are the most racist beings on the planet. This is mayweather until the day he f***n dies. Watch. A lawsuit threat ain fazin him. **** look at Jr, he believes the lawsuit about that bach is a joke

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

they talking about sr. not jr.

Thats what he meant, mamao.

Beause Floyd is a broke SOB!!!!!!!

If they feel there is enough reason to sue for defamation then i say go ahead with it, But i cant see enough in what Mayweather snr said to warrant going to court and wasting your money suing.

[one-Punch]

Mayweather Sr is senile. I wouldn't even bother with this fool.

[Frank Martin]

Manny should have ignored this old ass.

[madsweeney]

lol i didnt know you can do that. suing a man that voices his opinion is violating his freedom of expression. there is no clear intent of provoking danger to him or the community. does he even have a case? and plus if pac is that hurt about it, something must be up. if you know it aint true just leave it alone and prove hiim wrong.

Freedom of speech protects you from government persecution, not private. Slander is very much well against the law and a legit reason to sue.

With that said, this is a complete waste of time to actually pursue, however, I like that Pac is saying this to at least scare the old fool.

If it's in a U.S. court Pacquiao has to prove that irreparable damage was done to his character, or that the allegations in some way hurt his career. Public figures aren't protected to the extent that private citizens are (Pacquiao is a public figure.) They also have to prove that Mayweather acted with actual malice (he knew the statements were false and said them anyway with the intent of causing damage) or with reckless disregard for the truth, though that applies more to journalists and reporters and such.

I doubt it holds up in court. Mayweather isn't an authority on the subject anyway. If a reporter said it there might be something to it, but not a boxing trainer. The U.S. is one of the hardest countries to win a defamation/slander suit in because of that little thing known as the First *********.

**** outta here, he didn't claim to know Pac was on steroids. He said "I think" you can't sue anyone for thinking aloud. They'd better focus on the real threat; Cotto's gonna break that kid up!!

That's not the point.

Because of what floyd sr. said, some people are starting to believe that pacquiao is using steroids. some posters here like Burner are riding with what Floyd Sr. said. casual fans would probably believe sr. cause he is a name in the sport.

it made pacquiao look bad

floyd sr. deserves to get his come up ins for saying ****** **** without any evidence....

[Junito-Rulez]

LMAO Manny wants the Mayweather family back in the streets. After that ****, they will call lil Floyd "NO Money".

You might want to look it up.
